Lawatan Prihatin Pemuda MIC

Asahan, Melaka.

Pemuda MIC (Biro Keahlian dan Pemuda MIC Melaka) bersama Datuk R.Raghavan telah melawat keluarga si remaja yang meninggal dunia diatas sebab misteri. Remaja tersebut Kugan Rajendran berusia 19 tahun ketika meninggal dunia. Beliau dijangkiti demam campak, kemudian menerima rawatan daripada Hospital sebelum meninggal dunia. Pihak Hospital mengesahkan bahawa kematian adalah disebabkan oleh penjangkitan bakteria dan kuman. Manakala keluarga mangsa sukar menerima alasan yang diberikan oleh pihak hospital. Namun pihak keluarga tidak berhasrat untuk menyiasat lanjut kes kematian diatas sebab-sebab peribadi. Maka Pemuda MIC hanya dapat menghulurkan bantuan kewangan dan sedia membantu keluarga tersebut pada masa hadapan.

Kuala Terengganu Milik PAS

Mohd Abdul Wahid Endut (PAS) - 32,883
Wan Ahmad Farid Wan Salleh (Umno) - 30,252
Azhazudin Mamat (Bebas) -193

Walaupun isu 'Hudud' hangat diperdebatkan diantara PAS dan DAP. Namun demikian rakyat Kuala Terengganu tetap memilih PAS sebagai pilihan mereka. Walau apa-apapun, hormatilah kemenangan, bekerjasama untuk kepentingan rakyat.

Manakala, UMNO harus memikirkan cara yang lebih baik untuk meraih sokongan pengundi terutama sekali pengundi Melayu yang nampaknya lebih berpihak kepada PAS.

Terima kasih kepada pengundi Cina dan India dimana peratus pengundi yang mengundi BN meningkat pada kali ini. Usaha MCA, MIC berhasil serba sedikit.

It's all about Klang Terminal....

• Selangor state assembly Speaker Teng Chang Khim had said that Santiago behaved like the opposition and alleged that he (Santiago) had been bought over by Barisan, after the latter demanded that the concession agreement between the Klang Municipal Council (MPK) and the developer of the new Klang Sentral Terminal be made public.
• Charles Santiago (Klang MP-DAP) had given Teng one week from last Saturday to either prove the allegation, or retract his statement and offer a public apology.
• Meanwhile, Selangor exco member Dr Xavier Jeyakumar (PKR), who visited the Klang Sentral Terminal yesterday, said the move was necessary to alleviate traffic congestion in Klang town.
• S.Manikavasagam (Kapar MP-PKR) had tendered his resignation letter from Post of Deputy Selangor PKR Liaison Chairman to Selangor PKR Chief Office with immediate effect.

Pity Manikavasagam....

Pakatan Rakyat... Not even a year.. pity....

• Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) is staring at a permanent and damaging break with the Hindraf/Makkal Shakti movement after Kapar MP S. Manikavasagam resigned today as the deputy chairman of Selangor PKR.
• He blamed the Pakatan Rakyat government in Selangor led by Mentri Besar Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim for failing to fulfil the promises made to the Indian community during the March general election.
• He showed open hostility to Khalid, party vice-president R. Sivarasa and Selangor exco member Dr Xavier Jeyakumar, describing them as individuals who have done nothing for the Indians although they claim to be Indian leaders.
• He accused Dr Xavier of holding “too many” positions and alleged that Sivarasa had claimed to be an Indian leader but had not called for a single meeting to discuss Indian woes.
• Sivarasa had said previously that as a multi-racial party, PKR cannot have Indian-centric policies and that its leaders represented all races.
• However Manikavasagam rubbished that, saying PKR made specific promises to Indian voters and had failed to make good on them.
• He also alleged PKR remains Malay-centric and campaigned for the Malay agenda, pointing out that Indians had not been offered positions in GLCs, state agencies and senior positions in local councils.
• “Even in Kampung Sentosa where 95 per cent of residents are Indians, Khalid appointed a Malay as the ketua kampung,” Manikavasagam said.

It would be a big blow to PKR and the PR alliance if Manikavasagam quits the party and joins forces with Uthayakumar and pushes the Hindraf/Makkal Shakti movement away from the opposition into an independent force.
